I was looking for a Modesty.. I found a trend!

I had high hopes for the “electronic basket.”
I mean… the world has advanced and everything is clicky, so why isn’t modesty online too?

I typed “Sharia Abaya.”
I got 300 styles.
Most of them…
either “open” Abayas, or they had glitter that made you feel like you were entering a wedding, not going out for a walk.

Each page brought a suggestion:
“Try the new trend! An Abaya with puffy sleeves and a slit up to the knee… Modest and yet free-styling!”

I asked myself:
“Does an Abaya have to be either tight or loose but sheer?
Who said that fashion has to come at the expense of comfort… or sanity?”

When I was choosing a dress, I found an ad like this:
“Modest dresses with half sleeves and sheer fabric… The authenticity of the good old days!”

I laughed to myself…
“Authenticity indeed, but more for decoration than for going out.”

I entered the page Oswa…
I found the abaya I’m always looking for:
Loose, decent material, simple shape…
And the model doesn’t stand halfway!

I ordered the abaya and a khimar with it.
As I was closing the website, I thought:
“Moderation isn’t a trend…Moderation is always more comfortable than all the offers!”

Have you also come across strange ads and promotions while searching for Islamic clothing?
